In another life, I used to be a “star” consultant in Saudi Arabia.

I used to implement risk management processes for multi-billion-dollar projects.

I must confess it’s the only job I ever truly liked.

This was to become SATORP

✅ RISKY

The more I learned in the field of risk management, the better I got to know myself.

So I discovered that a part of my way if life is called…

A high appetite for risk.

I have dozens of examples when I simply dove head-first in new projects.

Colleagues over in Saudi Arabia used to call me “Risky”.

I have this urge to insist on implementing my ideas, even with the risk of personal destruction.

Best example: I made the decision to give up my international consultancy career in order to pursue my life’s passion – Body Engineering. Back in 2013, when I made that decision, it came as a shock to my family and friends.

I gave up everything in order to pursue my dream.

My new career path was, in the eyes of those around me, insignificant.

“What do you mean you want to become a nutritionist? All that studying and working just so you can throw it all out the window?”…

But for me, my new career path WAS EVERYTHING.             

As always, I didn’t pay attention to what those around me were saying. So I did what I do best.

I pursued my dream. As a crazy person. And I let my passion consume me.

Passion consumed me until I reached a saturation point. For 3 years I haven’t taken a single 1:1 meeting with anyone.

  • Marathons and triathlons? Did those for 10 years – to the brink of destruction.

  • Ice baths? 2 years, daily – to the brink of destruction.

  • Eating eggs? 33 eggs daily – for a whole week.

  • Over 2 years I have eaten almost half a metric ton of tuna and 175 kilograms of butter.

  • My coworkers changed my nickname to “Flipper”.

  • I started writing on Substack on August 2nd 2023. After 9 months of daily writing (about 6 hours per day on average), I am now number 17 WORLDWIDE in the “Health & Wellness” category.

Care to help me reach the Top 10?

As you can see, I am a man of moderation.

So let’s continue. I’ve read a really cool thing the other day here on Substack.

By now, you know very well that I only write from experience. Never from hearsay.

I always write things only when I am 100% certain they are true. Everything I write here went through a validation and verification process before getting posted.

I will therefore take a moment to thank you for your continued attention. I realize this is nowadays an important commodity.

So you know that when I write “Thank you for your attention” it’s not just empty words.

Back to the matter at hand.

  • I was a consultant for 2 years and I flew dozens of times during those 2 years.

  • After that, for the next 10 years, I worked with dozens of consultants. And they basically live in airports.

You know what we say here at Body Engineering:

Those who look for solutions find no excuses.

I found an interesting solution in 2011 and it’s still valid today.

This next part is only for my elite subscribers. Thank you for all your support. A surprise is coming soon.

I suspect that if you don’t support this publication with a measly 6 EUR per month, you’re neither a consultant, nor have money for an extended vacation. Am I right?
